Trump directs team to beef up his public schedule to combat questions about his stamina

Source: CNN

Vague descriptions of presidential signing ceremonies, policy meetings and industry executive sit downs — mostly behind closed doors — began peppering President Donald Trump’s public schedule at the end of last year.

The additions to the schedule, which is blasted out to the media every night, were no accident. Trump himself had given the directive to beef up the information.

Despite near-daily appearances before cameras, some of them stretching for hours, Trump, 79, had become frustrated at a perception — fueled by analyses of his daily public schedules — that his days were lighter now than during his first four years in office. In his mind, it only contributed to questions swirling about his health and stamina, sources said.

Shortly after, his team began noting private meetings on the daily schedule sent to reporters and posted online. Aides said the goal is to better reflect what they believe are jam-packed days. They’ve also started listing meetings and interviews that typically wouldn’t appear on the public calendar.

His published schedules, when he wasn't playing golf, were padded with oodles of daily "executive time", which seemed to amount to what most of us know as loafing, so if he's perceived as being more idle now, that's quite an achievement.

It's unclear what the article means by "beef up his public schedule" - does it mean arranging more for him to do every day, or literally just beefing up his schedule, the list of reported activities? Already he's padding out his formal meeting times with extended gushing praise sessions and rhapsodies about the ever-gaudier decor, that's when he's not taking a nap. Can his time on the can be far from being itemized, too?

He looks like death barely warmed up most of the time now anyway, so if he wants to work harder to prove some point, let 'im rip.

The move to increase his public schedule -- if it is for real -- will not be good for him -- because:

-- Will cut into his nap time, causing him to drop off asleep more frequently.
-- Will expose his dementia to more and more people.
-- Hopefully will put a strain on his heart, thereby inducing a fatal heart attack soon.
